Person
Muhammad ibn Abd Allah al-Birzali
Muhammad ibn Abd Allah al-Birzali was leader of the Banu Birzal, a Berber clan brought to al-Andalus as soldiers by al-Mansur. During the civil war that destroyed the Caliphate of Córdoba he took control of Carmona around 1013 and made it the base of an independent taifa. He and his successors contested the lower Guadalquivir with the Abbadids of Seville, who finally annexed Carmona in 1067.
